Another Teen Story
Em G Am C (x2)

Em               G                    Am           C  
She didn’t let the world see her pain
Em                     G                Am             C 
The struggles she was going through
Em             G                   Am          C          G
When he ended his life he ended hers too
Em            G             Am             C         
So she uses that knife every night
Em                  G      Am                  C     
Just to feel okay, to feel the power

Em          G             Am             C
She is killing herself on the inside
Em         G            Am               C          
But on the outside she is wearing a mask
Em    G           Am          C                         G    
To hide the pain she carries with her everywhere
Em        G        Am             C              Em           G                           Am
She’d never tell anyone that she blamed herself for what happened
Em                         Am      C              Em G Am C
Cause she would rather die instead

Em          G          Am       C                        Em          G        Am   C
He drinks that bottle just to make the stress go away
Em     G            Am        C              Em   G     Am    C        
His mommas high, his daddy’s hittin her again
Em       G          Am           C          Em       G       Am     C
He would do anything just to get his baby sister back
Em          G       Am                    C
She was only one when she died
Em     G                 Am      C          Em    G              Am                      C      
He looks at the bruises on his arms from the night he came in late

Em           G           Am              C
He is killing himself on the inside
Em         G              Am            C
But on the outside he is wearing a mask
Em     G          Am        C                          G
To hide the pain he carries with him everywhere
Em      G          Am          C               Em        G                              Am
He’d never tell anyone that he blamed himself for what happened
Em                        Am       C            Em G Am C (x2)
Cause he would rather die instead

Em                   G                         Am                           C
One night she lost too much blood and she was fading fast
Em                  G                                            Am           C
When Jesus appeared by her side and held her hand
Em                         G                                   Am                   C
Tears streamed down his face as he watched her die
Em          G                  Am
Later on that same night
       Em             G                     Am                 C         
The pills the alcohol and blood clots finally caught up with him
Em                        G                 Am    C            Em                        G             Am          C
When his baby sister and Jesus held him tight while they took him up to heaven
 
Em            G                     Am             C
They killed themselves on the inside
Em    G                 Am                  C                       G          
But now on the outside they don’t have to hide
Em     G                  Am       C                G   
The pain they carried with them everywhere 
Em               G             Am           C                 Em         G                Am      C       
Everyone there knows they blamed themselves for what happened
Em                  G           Am C
But they feel better
Em                  Am      C                             Em G C Am Em G C Am   
Cause they know they don’t have to hide
                                             Em G C Am Em G C Am
Cause they don’t have hide yeah
     Am              C           Em (hold)                                      
They don’t have to hide
